Don't buy that extended warranty from Dell

Dell deceived customers, judge says
The article isn't well written, but the gist of the article is that Dell deceived people into purchasing extended warranties and service contracts that just didn't deliver.  I never go for that stuff anyway, and you shouldn't either.
There were a couple of times where I think I should have gotten the extended warranty but ... when I think back on it, it would only matter if you believe in the warranty or service contract. It's never that easy. Save your money. Dell is still a good company for hardware, just don't buy into extended contracts.
